Are you an overachiever that wants to achieve without the burnout?

Welcome My Dear Friend,

I am so happy that you have found your way here.  You see I have been calling for you. Beckoning you to join me on the most amazing journey where I can be of service and support to help you SING in your business and life.

It wasn’t too long ago when I was struggling to find my own business voice.  Where I sounded more like croaking frog than a beautiful song bird and my business reflected it.  I had many fits and starts that included great wins, followed by several back slides and struggles.  Those early days in business felt more like I was taking one step forward and two steps back.

I spent months trying to make sense of it all, doing my best to crack the code to business success.  I had been such a strong employee.  Climbing the corporate ladder with such ease, that it never occurred to me that starting my own business would be a struggle.  I was extremely arrogant and in my own journey faced many lessons that have allowed me to grow and blossom. Through this journey, I have become a strong and influential woman.  And so you may be wondering, what my journey has been like, how you can learn from it and what finally got me to 6-Figures and beyond. I invite you to read on and find out!

Do you want to shut the cubicle “door” once and for all? Get the clarity and motivation you need to never again have to go back to a job! 

Part 1: I want to be a consultant

Growing up, I didn’t realize that becoming an entrepreneur was a career path.  My parents always told me that they had moved the family to the United States (from El Salvador) in order f or us to have a better life. Ultimately they wanted my brothers, sister and I to go to school, get a degree and get good paying jobs.

 My mom especially emphasized that for her daughters, being in the United States afforded us so many more career opportunities, but never once was business ownership one of those possibilities. So I went through life, much like everyone else. I was unaware that there was such a thing as small business ownership. And so, I went to school at UC Davis, got a degree in Psychology and went to work in the field of Human Resources.

When I began working in high tech I noticed some “employees” that didn’t keep normal employee hours.  They seemed to just come and go as they pleased and they talked about other “gigs” they had. Curious to all heck, I asked around and found out these people were called consultants. That they owned their own businesses and above all, I learned that they were paid dearly for their “expertise”. I also learned that they got to take off as much time as they chose, which for me sounded like HEAVEN. When I found this out, I understood that my ultimate goal was to be one of them.  To have control over my salary, the work I did and above all, my schedule.  It was then that I began to do what it took to gain the greatest amount of experience in the shortest amount of time. And so my journey outside the cubicle began.

 Part 2: Alone in Singapore

At the end of 2004 I was asked to go to Singapore to help launch the Asia Pacific head
quarters of the company I was working for at that time.  I had always been huge on traveling and considering my goal to become a consultant, I thought this kind of international experience would be essential for me. So on December 31, 2004, I was on a plane bound for Singapore.

When I got there, I was excited and invigorated by the prospect of entrenching myself in another culture. It was amazing to be there, with all its hustle and bustle, great food and delightful people.  But being there alone meant there was plenty of time to think. And the more I thought, the more I began exploring my own passions and desires.  It was during this time, that I did a great deal of soul searching.  In many ways it was an awakening process unlike no other. I began exploring what I TRULY wanted out of life, instead of what others told me I SHOULD want.  The more I explored, the more I realized I was covered in other peoples “stuff”. Their beliefs, fears, and rules about how life should be, began to feel like they were a coat of tar covering my soul. 

While I was there, I made the decision I would no longer live other people’s dreams. It was time to figure out who I was, what I wanted, and get myself moving in that direction.  And so when I got back to the states, I began taking various classes. I also switched jobs to help me glean the last bit of experience I thought I needed to break free from the cubicle.

Part 3: The Straw the Broke the Camel’s Back

At the end of 2007, I was brought into conversations to layoff a group at our facility in San Francisco.  And although I understand that layoffs are part of business, I was having particular trouble with this one on two accounts.  First, I was bothered by it because these people had been part of an acquisition no more than two years prior and loved the work they did.  Secondly, the layoff was scheduled to happen a week after they were to be moved in to a brand new office space and for me that felt like a shitty thing to do.

It was during this time, that I decided it was time to leave.  I could no longer pretend that I enjoyed my job or that it was in alignment with my values and ultimate dreams. I also knew that if I left, then perhaps someone else could keep their job, and if there was such a thing as luck, that the person that got to keep their job was someone who actually wanted it.

Wouldn’t you like to be hand held through this amazing journey by someone who actually understands you?

When I began my business I first focused on Organizational Development and Executive Coaching, because I thought that was all I was qualified to do (and frankly I didn’t know any better).  When I began the business I was able to grow it quickly, because I had a great reputation and I was confident in my skills.  The funny thing was that when I would go into these businesses, I was getting pulled aside by women asking me three very poignant questions: 

1. Are you making money?
2. Are you happy?
3. Can you teach me about starting a business?

Most of my time spent consulting was spent talking to women about their business ideas, their “what if” scenarios and about what their life could be like if they called the shots.  Pretty soon, I realized there might just be a business in all this dreaming. And so I began to focus on helping women create and grow their businesses. I wish I could say, that I became an overnight success, but this is where the story gets really interesting…

“Gifted, knowledgeable and insightful, Silvia manages to deliver an incredible quantity and quality of information around growing and starting businesses, as well as holding a profound and expansive space for you to step into as both businesswoman and human.  Her ability to both be analytic, incisive and direct, as well as compassionate, loving and nurturing is unparalleled, and under her guidance and care I experienced massive transformation at both a personal and business level.

I now have a vision, structure and container for my business – and have officially opened my doors for business, and am taking on new clients! She has helped me gain enormous clarity on the direction and vision for the business whilst simultaneously guiding me to take practical steps with what the resources I have available to me now.  I am so grateful for all the care and support she has given me – always available when needed, and full of extra goodies and surprises, her program represents incredible value for money. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking to start, grow or expand their business to the next level.  Thank you Silvia!”

I know how scarry it is to start and grow a business!

That’s why I got help and want to offer you a leg up too.

 

Anyone looking at me from the outside, would think I had all my stuff together. That I was fearless and moving forward in my business with ease and grace.  Fast forward several years and yes, for the most part that is true, but it wasn’t always that way.

I struggled to find my voice in my business. The consulting business was easy for me because it didn’t MEAN anything.  It was like being an employee on my terms.  I had nothing to lose because it wasn’t my calling.  I didn’t feel connected to that business and therefore it was easy to sell, since it wasn’t tide up to my identity.

On the other hand, the Outside The Cubicle business was and still is STRONGLY tied to me, to my soul and to the impact I want to have in the world.  This business represents me in my purest form, and I didn’t want to talk about it too much or promote it too much, for fear that I would be rejected, ridiculed and cast aside.

I knew what to do from a marketing and sales perspective.  I had most of the structures in place, but I just couldn’t get outside the cubicle I had created in my mind… oh the irony.

I Believe In You!

I know you are strong, capable and deserving to succeed

The Epiphany:

One day, it finally hit me, I was not in this for the money, I was in this for the IMPACT.  Fully launching, Outside The Cubicle, was not about me, it was, is and will always be about YOU!

Yes, you, reading this right now.  You who are drawn here, called to work with me.  Because I can help you break free of your fears, limiting thoughts and self sabotaging behaviors AND I can also give you the tools you need to run a successful business.

Where else can you learn from someone who has walked in your shoes?  Someone who has the business savvy AND the ability to help you transform into the woman you have always known you could be?

The women I support are dynamic, highly functioning achievers who want to have an impact on the world, but have either lost their way, been through a transition or haven’t found the courage to say YES to themselves.

“I have always been jealous of others who had the courage to take a risk and start their own business. I felt that I would never have the guts to do it on my own, let alone gain the knowledge to make it all work. Deep down I’ve really wanted to give it a try, but I really didn’t know how. Then I met Silvia and in a short conversation I realized that it didn’t have to be as risky as I thought. Over the course of our sessions, Silvia helped me put together a plan that I could execute while I was still working!

 

Whatever your story, background and situation, I want you to understand that I BELIEVE in YOU! I believe in what’s possible for you and what you want to create.  I know you can achieve the kind of success I’ve achieved in a shorter amount of time because I’ve seen it happen with other clients.  In fact I am willing to bet, that you can achieve an even greater success than I have in a shorter amount of time, if you are ready and willing to say yes to yourself today!

This year alone, I have attended over 10 business programs, read 8 business books and listened to countless business seminars. All the while I have successfully launched 5 new programs yielding 5-figure months leading to a 3 fold increase in my business during the first 9 months of the year.

I have helped 100’s of women break free from their own paralyzing fears and have educated them on business building in such a way that many have said, they wished they knew me when they had first started out in business.

“Starting another business was daunting for me. I knew it wasn’t as easy as getting a website, business cards and declaring I am here. I had gotten help before from SCORE and although they are wonderful in helping with my business plan, I didn’t get the support I needed for the nitty gritty day to day.I knew that I needed help on the how to’s if I was going make my HR Consulting business a success. In meeting Silvia I knew that she had “been there and done that” and she could help me make my business a success. Not only did she help me grow my clients 5 fold and my monthly income by 10X, but she has given me the moral support and foundational components I needed. Now I have people calling me, wanting to work with me, in less than 6 months time!

This has been the best investment I have ever made in my business. And I recommend that others get past their own fears of investing in themselves and work with Silvia. I know I’ll continue to work with her, because she is my very own short cut to business growth!”

I know that you are a smart woman and that sometimes you question your sanity and your capability, but enough is enough.  There is nothing wrong with you, broken or lost, quite the opposite is true.  You have opened yourself up to be more authentically you.  You have uncovered that beneath the tar that has been covering YOUR soul, that there is a heart that wants to SING and I am here to help make sure that happens.

I want you to SUCCEED!  Don’t Take the long road, have me as your guide

Let’s break down what the 1 Year SING Diamond Program is all about:

For 1 year you will be focusing on these four main areas in your business.  And with your $25,000 investment you will be saying YES to allowing your business to grow in Sales, Influence and Net Worth with Grace.  Many have asked how I’ve been able to grow so quickly and still keep my sanity.  It has been the laser focus on these pillars.  Read on and learn more about what they are and why they are so important.

S – Sales: Like the sirens beckoning, you want your business to beckon your ideal clients forth to you. It does not require that you have a huge list. And if you are just starting out, it only requires getting you in front of the right people. Once there, you can build a strong relationship quickly. In fact, I teach my clients a unique selling formula that helps you stay in integrity to yourself, your business and honors your potential client as well.

I – Influence: Assuming that your business is based on a deeper calling for you, learning how to influence and drive impact is essential.  I find that when you are just starting your business, or are in a position to grow it by hiring full time or part time help, influence is a skill you need to master. It is the art of building relationship and communication.  The better you get at both the bigger your influence will be experienced.

N – Net Worth: We are all a little funny about money, however you do not have a business unless you have a clear plan on building out your net worth.  You see, it is more than just money in and money out. You need to understand and have clear goals around your net worth and find strategic ways to grow it via your business.  Still confused, scared or just plain worried about money?  Not to worry, we will demystify the concepts and have you owning it instead of it owning you.

G – Grace: As women business owners, we often get confused about how to build our businesses.  We tend to build from a place of aggression and grasping, just like our male counterparts.  But as you might have noticed, that type of business building leaves you worn out, tired and doesn’t move you forward.  As a woman, you need to grant yourself plenty of GRACE and allow yourself to create from a place of ease and flow.  This is something I can model and help you uncover for yourself.

“I have worked with several other business coaches in the past – some which fulfilled a need and others that did not. I knew when I met Silvia she would be the type of coach I could stay with and get value from, for many, many years. Like most business owners, I am too close to my own business to be objective. Before we started working together, I was making money, but was not profitable. After working with her for only 3 months, I am very close to breaking even for the first time.

Speaking of money, the cost of her program scared me and nearly prevented me from working with her. After the fact, I can tell you that she was worth every penny and I only wish that I could have STARTED my business with what I know now, back then. Silvia has a style that is supportive, yet firm; structured, while flexible. Her insight has helped me delve into areas within my psyche that have been holding me back for years, which has provided me with new tools to use going forward. Working with Silvia has changed how I look at my business, work in my business, and work ON my business. She is the one business coach I can recommend with complete confidence.”

“Silvia – Before I began working with you, I didn’t know where to look for my ideal clients and I was very caught up in the model I had learned for list building and making offers to my list as the ‘only and proper way’ to find clients. When I happened to find prospects I would struggle with how to talk to them about my services. During our group coaching with the clarity and framework that you provide I was able to not only find my ideal clients, but have them come to me. You gave me a different framework for connecting with people and gave me permission to evaluate what was working for me and what was not. In addition, the sales model you provided helped me to easily enroll my first VIP client at $797! The group coaching work helped me to understand how to run my business and reconnected me to my mission and vision. Bringing these parts together has really made a difference for me, to the point where my business continues to unfold more easily than in the last 5 years of struggle.

Although the group coaching was essential for me to get the nuts and bolts, including business techniques and structures, the 1:1 coaching has opened my mind to the notion of more quickly achieving greater possibilities for myself (this breakthrough pulls me forward like a magnet) and has helped me realize my own capabilities and strengths, truly an invaluable gift. I have more certainty and confidence now that I can create the vision of the life that I truly desire! Thank you so much for all your support Silvia!”
